गोमूल्यनिर्णयः — The Determination of Value through the Cow
Nahuṣa–Cyavana Episode
योनिष्वेतासु सर्वासु संकीर्णास्वितरासु च । यत्रात्मानं न जनयेद् बुधस्तां परिवर्जयेत्
yoniṣv etāsu sarvāsu saṅkīrṇāsv itarāsu ca | yatrātmānaṃ na janayed budhas tāṃ parivarjayet ||
قال بهيشما: «في جميع هذه الأرحام (الولادات) التي وُصِفت، وفي سائر الولادات المختلطة أو التي تُعَدّ منحطّة كذلك، لا ينبغي للحكيم أن يُنجب حيث لا يرضى أن يُعاد تمثّله هناك. فمثل هذه الصلات يجب اجتنابها اجتنابًا تامًّا.»

Educational Q&A
The verse advises restraint in procreation: a discerning person should avoid begetting children in unions or circumstances considered unfit, and should renounce such connections entirely.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma continues his dharma-instruction, laying down norms about conduct and social propriety; here he cautions against producing offspring in certain censured or mixed births/associations.
